Excellent basic webmaster, with 10+ years of experience with NCSA/Apache, cgi and html. Experience with Tomcat, Java servlets and JDBC, MySQL and LDAP.
Owner/Operator of RainDrop Laboratories (rdrop.com), a small ISP. Xenix-286 -> SVR3 -> SVR4 -> FreeBSD. Was part of the original RAINet SLIP based network in 1991 which eventually became part of Verio. Recent work includes www.triangleproductions.org, PayPal IPN integration, user account management webapp, contract work on a perl-based custom shopping cart system and a demonstration project for a sophisticated Javascript based web form creation tool.
Started off by implementing phpwiki for documenting procedures, configuration and generally everything someone would need to know. My policy was "if you need to know something that isn't in the wiki, put it there after you find the answer." Central authentication and provisioning based on openldap, which I had no previous experience with, but quickly came up to speed on, though still working out some of the twists that the previous administration put into it. Work has primarily been keeping things running while slowly making changes to improve things though recent management change has prioritized improvements over short term stability. Among the systems and software we have are FreeBSD, Gentoo Linux, Solaris, Win2k, OSX, cisco, Foundry, Barracuda (spam filter appliance), Network Appliances file server, apache/modssl, freeradius, mysql, openldap, sendmail, postfix, clamav, spamassassin, Optigold (isp billing/provisioning), php, perl, nagios (system monitoring), rancid (configuration version control), cricket (snmp monitoring).
Intertrust acquired PassEdge in Dec 2000. I set up the build environment using gmake and did some minor Oracle database work in Java, as well as Solaris upgrades and miscellaneous Linux support.
In Dec 1999, our group at Intel officially became a separate company and started development of a multimedia security product in C++ based on the results of the prototype work. This product was developed on NT and Solaris simultaneously.
Worked with cisco, MCI and the IETF on bandwidth reservation standards and setup a test WAN to experiment with the RSVP protocol. Also implemented a module in C for the open source UCD SNMP package to allow it to monitor RTP (Real Time Protocol) streams. Then worked on server half of a prototype multimedia encryption system based on a paper on multicast security. This led to the group separating from Intel to develop products in this area of Digital Rights Management.
Created Intel's first public web site. From there, went on to benchmark and performance tune the web server as well as updating the site and working with other groups at Intel to promote its use and obtain additional content. The webserver was a BSD/OS system, with benchmarking including Sun, SGI and AIX machines, as well as NT.
3 of us formed an IT group for a new multimedia organization. I was responsible for much of the networking, especially moving into and out of a small, separate, facility, and Unix administration, including both x86 and Sun systems, and an Auspex fileserver (based on Sparc architecture and Solaris).
Joined SWCAD group, responsible for internal software environment tools. Heavily involved in development of a cc:Mail<->Unix mail gateway, through several versions. Also involved with conversion to Novell fileservers and network planning.
Initial project was a board that linked Multibus microcomputer systems to IBM mainframes, before moving on to Bitbus tools evaluation. Wrote internal wave solder machine monitor app using Bitbus products and a development application/test/demo program for a "starter kit". Also helped support internal group Xenix systems.
